If there is ONE thing that I absolutely hate doing is removing various hoses from the engine in order to do various maintenance tasks, flushing, cleaning....etc. Sometimes it is hard to remove and sometimes it is just f%*ing impossible. After removing the clamp the hose will turn but will not even give a hint that is is willing to come off.

Maybe polishing up the metal fittings, and then applying a little Teflon grease or something similar before reinstalling the hoses? That should stop them from sticking, but of course "sticking" is also "sealing".
